3com 500 Manual De Usuario

 

 

The AccessBuilder 500 uses FastConnect, its own protocol, to ensure the 

 

most efficient connection with other AccessBuilder units. However, if you 

 

are connecting to a different type of bridge/router the standard PPP 

 

communications protocol is required to establish the link. You can 

 

configure outgoing calls to use either FastConnect or PPP as required. The 

 

ISDN port on the AccessBuilder 500 autosenses the protocol being used on 

 

incoming calls and switches to the protocol necessary for that connection.

 

 

Large networks of interconnected LANs can be established by using 

 

multiple bridges as illustrated in 

 

 

. 

 

The bridges build up their address tables. If the destination unit is not 

 

registered as being accessed via the bridge’s LAN interface, the frame 

 

will not be placed on LAN A. Therefore, frames passing between LAN B 

 

and LANs C or D will not impact the overall performance of the LAN.
